Storage Size Guide

Self-Storage was developed to help people and businesses who are going through a transition. Whether you are moving, downsizing or expanding here is how to pick the right size storage space.

5×10 Unit (50 sq. ft.)

For Residential Use: This size is ideal for storing the contents of a dorm room or bachelor apartment, including a number of boxes, small mattress set, chairs and a bookshelf. This size is also great for storing seasonal sporting equipment, bicycles or even a motorcycle. For Businesses and Community Organizations: this is a good size for storing things you don’t need on a regular basis like older files, spare office furniture or seasonal items. A storage space this size can hold about 80 file boxes and still give you a little room to maneuver.

10×10 Unit (100 sq. ft.)

For Residential Use: Ideal for storing the contents of a 2-bedroom apartment. It’s perfect for holding an entertainment center, full sized mattresses, larger appliances, dining room furniture, and other various items. For Businesses: A storage space this size can be a cost-effective way of expanding your office. Adapt the storage space in your place of business to create more work space and use a self- storage unit for files and inventory. Or, use it as an overflow area for those times when supply is higher than demand.

10×15 Unit (150 sq. ft.)

For Residential Use: Perfect for holding the contents of a 3-bedroom home. This size can accommodate larger furniture like a sectional or king sized mattress set. For Businesses: This is a good choice for trades people storing equipment or supplies that are only used occasionally.

10×20 Unit (200 sq. ft.)

For Residential Use: This is the size of a small garage and is ideal for cars and other vehicles. This size is also a good choice if you are packing up a 3 to 4-bedroom house. For Businesses: An ideal size for businesses needing a small warehouse space or a trades person with equipment like quads and ride on mowers.

10×30 Unit (300 sq. ft.)

For Residential Use: This sized is great for storing the contents of a large home or acreage. For Businesses: This is a great alternative to renting an expensive commercial bay or if your business has outgrown a 200 sq. ft warehouse space.

I love dealing with the staff at Lacombe Storage Center. They are extremely friendly, and the storage is priced right. They make sure to send me reminders for our monthly bill and even take it one step further by making reminder calls so that I don’t get myself stuck with late fees. The yard and units are always clean and maintained and I trust that whatever I need to store is locked up and safe while in their hands.

Sue and her team at Lacombe Storage have been a stand out business in our community. They are not only leaders in the business sector but a shining gem for charities in need. They always get involved in community events and help in unique and amazing ways. From providing an in-kind storage space for our charity to fundraising for our Bowl for Kid’s Sake and submitting a Christmas Wreath for the Festival of Wreaths fundraiser. Recently they have even began a campaign to help support us with copying paper. If they see a need they make a plan and get involved. That’s what makes them such a huge part of our community. Lacombe Storage has an amazing team that help make our community a much better place.
